Harry Potter Morning Light.

Chapter 718 "The Dinghy of Venice"

The ceiling of the Renaissance period, in addition to the fresco decoration, also has gilded patterns.Together with the geometric tiles on the ground, it forms a luxurious handicraft, not only the paintings on display, but even the house painted on the exhibition is also a work of art.

In this era dominated by the West, almost everyone thinks that ancient Greece and Rome are revived, but this is not the case.

The Greco-Roman civilization known to contemporary people was transferred back from the hands of the emperor, and the geometric patterns of those tiles are somewhat similar to mosques.

The Frangetti Art Museum is the most outstanding Gothic building in Venice, but it is different from the ordinary Gothic style. It should be said to be between a medieval church and a mosque.It is the same as the Spanish businessman's courtyard, with buildings on all sides surrounding a small courtyard in the middle, and there are two staircases leading to the second floor in the courtyard, which can be visited after climbing the stairs.

While Pomona and Monica were admiring the paintings, a dark figure suddenly appeared at the door on the first floor.

She squatted down immediately.

"It's him, right?" Monica looked downstairs through the glass window and said, "Is he your husband?"

"That's right!" She lowered her voice and whispered, "Come here."

"Why should I hide from him? He doesn't know me." Monica said with a smile, "You have been entangled with him for 34 years?"

"Take me out of here!" Pomona said in a low voice, the old bat is very angry now, he was already black, and the magic pressure on his body has become even darker, the "vampire" must be in a bad mood when going out during the day, he is like Like a walking black hole, all light is sucked away by him.

"He is very difficult to provoke, isn't he?" Monica said with a smile on his face, "Why do you still provoke him when you know that it is difficult to provoke?"

This is really a good question. Why did she want to kill herself?
"He went upstairs?" asked Pomona.

"No, he's guarding the door. Fortunately, he's alone." Monica led Pomona towards the balcony, taking out her mobile phone to make a call while walking.

In addition to the street-facing entrance, the museum's ground floor has a recessed colonnade that provides direct access to the foyer from the canal.

After a few minutes, or a century, a young man who was tanned by the Mediterranean sun came downstairs in a small speedboat.

"Come on, that's my cousin." Monica said excitedly, as if on an adventure.

"Let's go?" Pomona looked around, the passage downstairs was guarded by old bats, and she couldn't go down at all.

Monica jumped directly across the balcony and flipped out.

"Never mind it." Pomona also went all out, and went straight out of the balcony.

Monica jumped out of the balcony, and the young man caught her. Pomona followed suit and jumped onto the boat smoothly.

She suddenly felt like 007.

"You said someone was chasing you, but who is chasing you?" the young man asked puzzled.

"Go, hurry!" Monica said anxiously.

"Crazy, the women in our family are crazy!" the young man muttered, started the engine, let the boat start speeding down the canal, and soon merged into the busy boat.

"Where are you going?" asked the boy.

"Go to Soul Casino!" Monica yelled against the sea breeze.

"What! No! I'm not going!" screamed the lad. "That place is cursed!"

Pomona glanced at the nets on his boat and realized what was going on.

Every city has its own urban legends. The most famous about Venice is that it was once a center of Freemasonry.

Freemasons, there are them everywhere, but the Soul Casino has nothing to do with them. It once belonged to a cardinal in the 16th century. In the early days, it was a gathering place for celebrity artists, but now it is considered a gathering place for restless souls. The most famous ghost that often appears in these rooms is Ruzzo, who fell in love with Giorgione's lover, the model of "Sleeping Venus", and later she died, and Giorgione died , and finally he also committed suicide.

Suicidal souls are going to hell, as the building is so isolated, foggy at night and sea water making eerie noises.

It is said that listening carefully at night can hear a man screaming in another room for a few minutes before the screaming dies down and sounds like a howl of grief.

Then the epidemic broke out, and there is no better place to isolate patients than that building, and thousands of people died here.

In 1929, the Muggle police found four bodies that lost their heads and right hands. In 1947, a woman named Linda Sweet was murdered here. Her body was put into the suitcase and her body was thrown into the lagoon. Haunted by the ghost of a young girl ever since, fishermen in Venice refuse to fish near the Casino of the Souls
, as to why it is called a casino is unknown, but it is still in use and the gardens are still open to visitors.

"I'll give you 50 Euros and take us there!" Pomona said to the boy.

"I want to deliver!" said the young man.

"100."

"Who is she?" the boy asked Monica.

"Tourists," Monica said.

Then they quarreled, chattering in Italian.

Pomona was wondering if she should show the two Muggles a hand when the cockroaches crawled out of her hat and coiled themselves around her wrists.

The two of them suddenly stopped arguing.

"What's wrong?" Pomona asked.

"I saw this in Grandma's picture book." Monica looked at it and said, "I remember it as if..."

"Bird and snake." Pomona continued, "I asked you before, do you believe in wizards? How did you tell me?"

"Mamma Mia! Are you a witch?" said the young man in horror.

Pomona took out her wand.

"I've changed my mind. Take me to the Soul Casino. Can you drive a boat, Monica?"

"meeting……"

Pomona then cast a creaking spell on the lad, who started laughing uncontrollably.

"Don't forget to take the helm," Pomona reminded Monica, and she turned the boat around as if waking up from a dream.

"I heard there are mermaids in the lagoon?" She continued chatting with Monica.

"Can you lift the spell on him?" Monica asked.

"what is his name?"

"Alessandro."

"Listen, Alessandro, your boat is ours today. As long as you are obedient, I will pay you. If you are not obedient, I will turn you into a frog. Is there a deal?" Pomona asked. Say to the lad.

Alessandro laughed and nodded quickly.

Pomona cast a spell on him, and he was back to normal again, except that he looked at her with fear in his eyes.

The originally friendly atmosphere turned bad all of a sudden, and the three people on board fell silent together.

Marco Polo was a Venetian merchant well known to the Chinese. He fell in love with the daughter of a great emperor in China, married her, and brought her back to Venice.

That princess should not be a Han princess, but a Mongol. Marco Polo’s travel notes were probably in the Yuan Dynasty, but she didn’t feel at home in a foreign land.

Later when Marco Polo was captured in battle, his sister-in-law told his wife he was dead.Unable to cope with his grief, he threw himself into the river. Marco Polo's home is located near the Rialto Bridge in Venice. Since the original building has been destroyed, it is now a theater. When excavating the ruins of this old house, an Asian woman was found. The remains of the tomb are buried with traditional Chinese funerary objects.

Later, an Italian composer was inspired by this and created a story called "Turandot", which tells a Chinese legend imagined by Westerners.

A long time ago, a princess named "Nuannuan" ordered that if a man could guess her three riddles, she would marry him in order to avenge the kidnapping of her ancestor Anye; if she guessed wrong, she would be executed.

She has an astonishing beauty that can make people crazy about her. Many people went to solve the problem, and many people died. Few people can keep awake in front of the beautiful and moving monster.

"My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,

There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold.
Come all you pretty fair maids, whoever you may be
Who love a jolly sailor bold that ploughs the raging sea.
My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,

There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold.
My heart is pierced by Cupid, I disdain all glittering gold,

There is nothing that can console me but my jolly sailor bold. "

She sang to herself, this is the ballad that human girls call their lovers to go home, but the mermaid learned it and lured men to drag them into the sea.

A man who was fishing by the canal became their target.

However, this man loves his fiancée so much that he rejects the beautiful mermaids.The mermaid gave him a gift of lace, which he gave to his wife on their wedding day, who researched and reworked it several times, eventually creating the lace we know today.

She recalled the time she spent in the train on the way here and in the cabin in the Alps, and her mood suddenly became extremely good. She was not "naughty" enough, who made her an evil witch?
